Greetings and Salutations Everyone,

First of all, I would like to apologize for the lack of updates this past week. Things have been going a little crazy with this gingerbread house I'm building for the Annapolis Valley Habitat for Humanity display and auction. I thought we would have to deliver the display today and I stayed up all night pulling it together. Some of you may realize that staying up all night is usually my forte, but it has wrought havoc with my plans of switching over to a "normal" daytime routine. In short, I feel icky.

Enough of excuses! On to the menu!

We will be serving Chili and Grilled Italian Sandwiches as usual ( Portabella mushroom and Italian Trio ). We even managed to remembered to buy rolls for with the chili this week. Yay!

Bread Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce will be making it's usual appearance, along with Carrot Carrycakes.
AAAAaaaaand... we have a lovely batch of shortbread in cute little cutouts that has a wonderful buttery, sandy texture.

As far as giant cookies go, we have;
  • Milk Chocolate Macadamia Nut
  • Milk Chocolate Caramel
  • Molasses Spice
  • Milk Chocolate Toffee Chip
  • Black & White with Pecans
  • Snickerdoodles
  • Shortbread
  • Butterscotch
  • Gingerbread
  • Yo-Yo's
Ooh, I believe that's the timer for the Bittersweet Chocolate Brownies, gotta run...

busy Busy BUSY!


When you're a chocoholic like me, even when life gets rocky (road) you can still find a reason to smile.

Believe it or not, this was a serendipitous cookie face. I didn't even know he was there until I walked back into the room after setting up the market. This happened a few months ago, but it happened when I really needed someone to smile at me. Funny how life's like that.

Many thanks to all of you for visiting and double that for leaving your comments, it's what keeps us going.

Congrats to Susan and Abbie for leaving the very firstest comment ever. Come see us at the market to claim your prize!

This weekend I am helping my Dad set up his booth at the NSDCC Christmas Craft Market at Pier 21. Drop by and visit him at booth number 311 on the corner: Donald Bell Goldsmith. I am still going to try to get everything ready for the market on Sunday, keep yer fingers crossed.

Brand New Bouncin' Baby Blog!

So here we are, at my brand spankin' new blog.

I am a Baker. Period. To the core. I am very serious about baking. I am very silly about baking. It's what I do.

I bake for other people during the week and bake for myself on the weekend. The result of this vocational vacation usually ends up being offered up at the flea market for your enjoyment. I bring my treats to the market in order to get FEEDBACK. I feed you, you feed me. Fair is fair.

I bake using only REAL ingredients.

REAL butter
REAL cream
REAL eggs
REAL sugar

You get the idea...

And I make sure that the stuff I buy is the stuff I would want to eat. I import different chocolates and vanillas that are not available here, but don't get me wrong, I love to use local products whenever possible. I try new things. I experiment a LOT! When I use a recipe, I always change something. (Usually several things by the time I get it just right.)

Oh, and I don't use any preservatives either.

I decided to start this blog at the request of some of my regular customers at the flea market who would like to know what products I am bringing to market in advance. This will be a place to find up-to-date lists of this week's treats, yummy photos of of past, present and future goodies as well as a place to make requests, order in advance and even comment on the delectable delights that followed you home. ( IF they even made it to the car before being devoured. If they didn't, I still wanna hear about it.)

Oh yeah, I almost forgot...
I have RED hair.
